Sure it's a bit formulaic but that didn't effect how engaging and absorbing it is . If you like movies like this it not , it certainly delivers and without cringe or eye rolling . The cast fits beautifully and the story itself is inspiring and captivating . I was all there for it and I am here for it still !
Glad this movie finally came out. I watched because it was a "BMX movie" and at the half century mark BMX is important to me. I still ride! But the movie was way more than a BMX movie. John Buultjens' story is a great story that more people in today's world need to hear. He is livening proof a bad start in life can be overcome.
Enjoyed it a lot, interesting to see John's story & I was impressed by Ludacris - it probably could of benefitted a lot from a bit more budget but they worked well with what they had to still provide some good BMX action

This is so much more than a BMX movie, it is inspiring and makes you think about life, it has many great messages, amazing actors with not only tear jerker but some exciting moments. I had such a great time watching it, thank you for making this movie. John Buultjens is a fantastic human!
